Hey bitcoiner, how OLD are you?

[ohiofarmer]

In another thread, someone mentioned that he knew of a 17-year-old who started buying bitcoin at 14 cents... That made me wonder how old people are on here? Mostly young people? I'm 33...

I'd say that the mix is about 70% young people (17-30) and 30% older people, as I feel that Bitcoin has a tendency to attract younger people with a more open mind and attitude. Conventionally, older people have trouble adapting to new paradigms hence why I'm leaning on a younger average bitcoin population.

Where's that put you? Older? Younger?

I'm guessing this forum's probably skewing older than something like Reddit, too.

I'm 29.  People here are so damn smart, and such good writers, that I always imagine them to be 30's 40's and 50's.  But I'm sure a good percentage is 30 and under.

I'm 25.  Wish I had bought a ton back when they were 50 (when I first considered buying).  Only reasons I didn't buy was because they were so hard to get (no real place was selling them, and most online places felt like scams).

Looks like I'm the senior citizen so far at 33!

I'm in the 25-29 age range. First bought BTCs 10 months ago. Should have done that long ago.

you should create a poll with age ranges. i'd be interested in learning more about the BTC demographics.. we had another thread with a poll of male to female ratio and it was 9:1, as in every 10 people there are 9 males here.. sample size was over 100 people.

my guess is that it's male, and disproportionate number of people under 30..

always believed our generation would be a part of something big... something that made a world a better place... honest money would be a great legacy to leave the world!  26 and still bright eyed...

23, out of university with my MA; I was heading into a JD program, but I'm taking another year off to see what I can do with the virtual currency industry. 2014 is going to be a hell of a year.
